JBOY must be high
JBOY says: "By '89 there can be no doubt that Brent had surpassed even Hunter as creating the most emotionally devestating GD music of the 80s."
One of the most ridiculous lines I have ever heard. Brent's tunes (in general) just never really fit the Dead. To say he surpassed Hunter at anytime or point is beyond laughable. But you can believe that if you like

Too much information par usual, J-Boy.
Do we really need to hear that Victim or the Crime is one of your "sex" mix cuts, J-Boy?? This is your most absolute cringe-worthy bit of verbal flatulence, I have had the mixed pleasure of coming across as of yet! congratulations, you have thoroughly nauseated me on this fine spring morning!! Kudos, my friend! ;) For all you who wonder if J-Boy's reviews are their own proverbial "victim or the crime", this is one of the all-stars!! As for the music here......don't miss it!!

A Must Listen... A Wonderful set of goodies
Was this purposefully recorded as studio outtakes or is it truly an accident that they were found? Perhaps these sessions would be ideal for release as part of the Dead's 'Unsurpassed' series. (For those not familiar, these releases were a compliation of unheard studio cuts along with rare live performances and other oddities. Most of the 'Unsurpassed' (bootleg?) volumes cover the Dead's releases from '68 throughout the 70s.)
Anyways, this "Instrumental" is of interest because although its melody is unrecognizable, it's obviously been constructed as a theme to a song maybe still to be 'lyriczied.' Hmmmm... I'm sorry but I think any haters of "Victim" are totally off-base. It's one of Bobby's sexiest excursions into a self-immolation hellhole. This version appears to lessen Brent's synth work in the mix, and I approve. Jerry's menacing counter to Bobby's words dramatically increase the stakes. Would you think less of me knowing that this horrifying slice of torment and misery is one of my 'sex' mixes. Brent's songwriting was not the most sophisticated, but there is no doubt that his work on 'Built' was the best of his career. "Blow Away" is an example of how emotionally poignant his stuff could be. The beginning of "Believe it or Not" sounded like the Ohio Players' "Life in the Time of Money." (Think 'New Jack City.') Jerry's very Dylanesque in singing this touching version. "Gentleman" is swampy and sleazy befitting an employee of Enron. Brent should have lessened his inner 'Doobie' "Built" is compact and the 'Push' of thia album. By '89 there can be no doubt that Brent had surpassed even Hunter as creating the most emotionally devestating GD music of the 80s. "I Will Take You Home" is a direct, urgent, clunky, but endearingly so...reassurance of Daddy's vulnerabilities and demons that would end up swallowing him...
2nd Set: As a tribute to those sad, depressing, isolating songs that stood out as the most impressive of the Dead's career, ("Bird Song" "China Doll" "Stella Blue") the '1st set' will end on Brent's touching ode to his soon to be neglected children. "Victim" is performed, and although the end is stark, I prefer the first version more. The "Instrumental 2 & 3"'s audio comes and goes...was it intended as the same song as the former? Barlow's voice accompanies "Shit Happens" whose theme appears similiar to the vibe Brent was attempting for his 'Built' work. A Walshian slide gutiar reminiscent of 'Walkin' work on these two "Jam."'s Oh my goodness, this "Barbed Wire Whipping Party" is so magnificently infernal. Who's voice is this: Kesey or Cassidy? Had to be from an Acid inspired Human Be-in. Awesomeness!!!
Wowsers, an incredible journey.
4 1/4 stars

I think its Miller Time fellas. What do you say we all turn up the reverb to 11, put on some giant sunglasses and talk about how cool that Dire Straits album is?
How does Bobby manage to turn the word "crime", entirely monosylabbic into a pentasyllabic one..."cri-a-hi-ee-im". Its damn near SanFranny Hebrew, Bobby.
Gotta give them a 4 for sound and novelty Chuck.
Thanks Jaye P.

More than one tape flutter, but i got a whole box full of that fun. It was a good play during the cribbage game. Never quite figured why Brent never found a better mike or was it Dan at the wheel?
All in all, what's there not to like.
